Legacy Blufftop Hunting Retreat Near the Mississippi River

You’re looking at a stretch of Driftless Wisconsin that flat-out stirs the
soul—the kind of ground that makes you slow down at the gate, take a deep
breath, and realize you’ve just found something special. This 128+/- acre
recreational sanctuary in Crawford County sits just minutes from the mighty
Mississippi River, tucked into a landscape of cascading bluffs, deep sweeping
valleys, and timbered ridgelines that define the very best of southwest
Wisconsin.

Set just outside the quiet community of Eastman, this fully wooded tract
lies in the epicenter of some of the most scenic bluff country the region has
to offer. It’s a place built for outdoor enthusiasts who live for fall mornings
in a treestand, spring gobbles echoing through hardwoods, and summer evenings
spent chasing walleyes and smallmouth on the Mississippi backwaters. This is
not just land—it’s a lifestyle.

Access is dialed in. The property enjoys two established easements off Oak
Grove Ridge Road, one from the west and another from the east, allowing you to
approach the heart of the property with intention and strategy. A well-defined
farm road carries you nearly a half-mile into the timber, climbing high along a
commanding ridgetop where an older rustic hunting cabin waits quietly among the
trees. The cabin is equipped with electric service and even fiber optic
internet—an uncommon and valuable feature for a remote woodland retreat.
Whether you envision this as a turnkey hunting camp, a weekend basecamp, or a
temporary headquarters while you design and build your dream blufftop getaway,
the bones are here and the setting is exceptional.

Step out the cabin door and you’re immediately immersed in a world of
opportunity. The property’s coveted top-access layout allows you to hunt
smarter—slipping into stands with minimal disturbance, keeping thermals and
prevailing winds in your favor, and preserving the sanctuary feel that mature
whitetails demand. Several custom-built box blinds are already in place,
positioned over proven deer corridors that have been quietly producing for
years. These stands overlook natural movement routes that don’t need
gimmicks—just patience and good timing.

The land itself is classic Driftless magic. Four dominant ridge systems roll
outward into a maze of timbered fingers, side-hill benches, and subtle saddles
that funnel wildlife with surgical precision. These aren’t random
crossings—they’re generational travel routes etched into the hillsides over
decades of use. Deer trails carve through the ridges like cattle paths,
converging in predictable pinch points that set up beautifully for early-season
patterns, peak-rut cruising, and late-season food pushes. This is a property
that hunts well in every phase, year after year.

The surrounding neighborhood only sweetens the deal. The estate borders
large, privately owned tracts and sits near neighboring row-crop fields that
act as destination food sources, pulling deer through this property daily.
Inside the boundaries, the timber stands tall with a strong mix of mature
hardwoods accented by pockets of pine. The forest floor is blanketed in
high-quality understory—thick, diverse, and loaded with security cover for both
whitetail deer and wild turkeys. For those who enjoy habitat work and food plot
development, there are multiple tucked-away openings and bench systems ideal
for carving out secluded honey holes without sacrificing cover.

And then there’s the Mississippi River—just minutes away. This proximity
opens the door to world-class fishing, waterfowl hunting, boating, and endless
recreational opportunity. Spend your mornings in the timber and your afternoons
on the river. Chase trophy bucks in November and chase bronze-backed smallmouth
all summer long. Few properties offer this level of diversity without
compromise.

This isn’t just another hunting parcel. It’s a legacy property. A sanctuary.
A virgin tract of Driftless bluff country that checks the boxes serious buyers
wait years to find—size, access, topography, timber quality, neighborhood, and
proximity to the Mississippi River. The kind of land that gets passed down, not
flipped. The kind of place where Boone & Crockett class whitetails don’t
just pass through—they live.

Once-in-a-generation opportunities like this don’t come around often in
Crawford County. If you’ve been searching for a true recreational retreat with
elite hunting, unmatched scenery, and a lifestyle rooted in the outdoors, you
already know how rare this is. Property is enrolled in MFL-Closed. Taxes are
$4,117/annually.
